Abstract
We report the synthesis and blood-brain barrier (BBB)-permeability of (14)C-CNDR-29, a paclitaxel C-10 carbamate derivative shown to be devoid of P-glycoprotein (Pgp)-interactions, in an in situ mouse brain perfusion model, in comparison with (14)C-paclitaxel. The results presented reveal a 3- to 4-fold higher BBB-permeability for the C-10 modified taxane compared to paclitaxel. These results support the notion that circumvention of Pgp-mediated efflux can lead to higher BBB-permeability. Further studies however are needed to evaluate the therapeutic potential of the C-10 carbamates paclitaxel derivatives for the treatment of CNS diseases.Entities:
